Trinity Christian's Marquion Lane signed a letter of intent Wednesday to play at West Virginia, joining his brother, Marlin Lane Jr., as a Division I football player.

Marlin, a running back at Tennessee, will be a junior this fall.

"My mom, dad and auntie are trying to see which channel to watch now. They're trying to get a split screen TV," Marquion said after he donned his Mountaineers cap and signed his letter of intent in front of students at the school chapel.

Marquion, a dual-threat quarterback who accounted for 2,094 yards and 23 touchdowns last season, said West Virginia recruited him to play cornerback, a position switch he welcomes. He was a Class 2A All-State selection as a utility player.

"My whole life, I've played both ways,'' he said. "I had a feeling I'd play receiver or corner in college.''

Marquion fractured his right ankle in the final regular-season game and underwent ankle surgery in November.

"I'm not running yet,'' Marquion said. "Right now, I'm building up my knee. The bones are kind of weak.''

Marquion, who played at DeLand High as a junior, said he chose West Virginia from among 17 scholarship offers. He said he felt a good connection with Moutaineers head coach Dana Holgorsen and associate head coach Joe DeForest.

"They stuck with me all through my injury and the transfer,'' Lane said. "They kept up with me with my grades and my surgery and making sure I'm keeping up with my rehab.''

Marquion, who has four younger brothers who also play football, said he spent 3-4 weeks working out at Tennessee last summer, the highlight of which was beating Marlin in a foot race.

Tennessee and West Virginia are not scheduled to play next season, but Marquion said, "If we do play them (in the future), with us on different sides of the ball, it's going to be a battle.''
